Safety LTC

Safety LTC provides Texas License to Carry (LTC) handgun training in Houston and surrounding Southeast Texas areas. This isn't the old Concealed Handgun License (CHL)—it's the current LTC class that covers constitutional carry laws and everything you need to legally carry in Texas.

The course covers four state-mandated modules:

• •Module 1: Laws relating to weapons and use of deadly force
• •Module 2: Handgun use and safety fundamentals
• •Module 3: Non-violent dispute resolution
• •Module 4: Safe storage practices (emphasis on preventing accidental child access)

You'll take both a written test and a shooting proficiency test. Seventy percent passes both. All material needed to pass the written exam is covered in class.

"I thought Greg taught the class very well! I was nervous when I first walked into the class room but his teaching style put me at ease." — Michelle R.

Beginners feel supported here. The instructors (Greg and Laurie are certified by the Texas Department of Public Safety) design the class to be "entertaining and enlightening" while covering serious material. Discussion and questions are welcomed—this isn't a lecture hall.

You'll receive your Certificate of Training (LTC 100), valid for 2 years. Submit it to the Texas DPS Handgun Licensing Program along with your application, fingerprints, and fees. Safety LTC provides guidance on the next steps.

• •LTC Renewal: As of September 1, 2013, renewals no longer require class time or range time—you renew directly with DPS online or by mail (as long as your license isn't expired more than 12 months).

If the public schedule doesn't fit, Safety LTC books private sessions for groups anywhere in Southeast Texas (or further with adjusted pricing). They bring a portable classroom and portable range kit.

Private Class Pricing: - 16+ people: $50/person - 10–15 people: $65/person - 5–9 people: $85/person - 3–4 people: $100/person - 2 people: $200/person - 1 person: $300/person

(Range fees separate)

If you already have your LTC-101 or LTC-104, you can take a Shooting Proficiency Only class for $55. It's one hour of class time plus the shooting test—no need to retake the full curriculum.

Gift certificates are available and expire one year from purchase. Recipient picks the date and registers—very simple process.

Customers consistently mention the same things: Greg makes the material engaging, time flies despite the 6-hour commitment, and the class actually makes you think about the responsibility you're taking on.

"After realizing the class was 10 hours, I was concerned I would be completely bored... However, that was definitely not the case! The class was very informative. Greg and Laurie helped everyone relax and eased any anxieties that arose." — Natasha J.

"I feel like I learned a lot about how to safely use a handgun and I would definitely recommend this class to my friends and family." — Katelyn D.

"Material is very well presented. I will definitely recommend to my friends and coworkers." — Chun W.
